Medical-surgical nursing is one of the core courses in general nursing, through which nursing students acquire skills for clinical practice. Medical-surgical nurses work in diverse clinical areas and specialisations to deliver the highest quality care with a view to preserving life, improving health status, and maintaining client health throughout their lifetimes by using an appropriate skill that is better acquired from school through appropriate teaching methods. Hence the need to choose a suitable teaching method to educate the would-be nurses. This study examined the differential efficacy of lecture and demonstration methods for teaching medical-surgical nursing courses in BUTH Ogbomoso with a view to improving the academic performance of nursing students in medical-surgical nursing courses. An experimental research method was used; stratified random sampling was employed to select seventy participants; a pretest was conducted, followed by intervention, and then a post-test. Frequency distribution table, pie chart, bar charts, means, two-tail ANOVA, and t-test were used to analyse the result. Findings revealed that there was a significant difference in the mean score between the two studied groups with a P value of 0.000 < 0.05. It is therefore recommended that medical-surgical nursing educators should not only use the lecture method but employ the demonstration method in teaching medical-surgical nursing. There is a need to equip skill laboratories in the nursing institution for learning.
内科护理学是普通护理学的核心课程之一，护理专业学生通过该课程获得临床实践技能。内科护士在不同的临床领域和专业开展工作，通过运用从学校经由适当教学方法更好习得的适当技能，提供最高质量的护理，以期在患者的一生中维持生命、改善健康状况并保持其健康。因此，需要选择合适的教学方法来培养未来的护士。本研究考察了讲座法和演示法在奥贡博索巴耶尔萨大学教学医院（BUTH Ogbomoso）内科护理课程教学中的不同效果，旨在提高护理专业学生在内科护理课程中的学业成绩。采用了实验研究方法；运用分层随机抽样选取了70名参与者；先进行了预测试，随后进行干预，然后进行后测试。使用频率分布表、饼图、柱状图、均值、双尾方差分析和t检验来分析结果。研究结果显示，两个研究组的平均得分存在显著差异，P值为0.000＜0.05。因此，建议内科护理教育工作者在内科护理教学中不仅要使用讲座法，还要采用演示法。护理机构需要配备技能实验室以供学习。
